Not really, the policy just says that the minimum assignment size is
/64. However, assignments shorter than /48 requires paperwork to be
filled in, and since nobody likes paperwork /48 constitutes the de-facto
max assignment size in all but exceptional cases. Apart from that it's
up to the LIR/ISP to decide how much to assign.

In any case we've been cheering on folks who "waste" bits on stuff like
6RD too. Shrug. Personally I'm happy to see folks burn some bits if it
results in actual deployments.
